Chapter 40 IMPORTANT NEWS "IirEUE not old friends ?" W "Oh, no," said Mln again. "Mln when did yon meet me Urst?" He got a round blue stare. "Oh, you know." "I'm afraW I don't. Shall we turn and walk back again? I don't sup pose anyone knows us, but you never can tell. And now when did you meet me flrst?" "Oh, but you do know that yon can't have forgotten so soon ! " . "So soon?" "It's not a week," said Mln. "You tan't have forgotten!" Jim felt a rising xcltement. "Not a week? Do you mean you "You are!" She nodded again solemnly, "All right, we'd better take an other turn, and you shall tell me all about It. Who's the man?" "I don't know It I ought." Jim didn't know either. He only knew that he as bound to get It out of her It he could. He said grave ly. "You've got to tell me." She twisted the handles of her basket "I've never been a mischief maker." "You won't be making mischief." She gave him a frightened glance curiously mingled with virtuous pride. "Throwing stones up at her win dow, and long past midnight!" ehe said. "A man threw stones up at Nesta'i window last night?" Mln gulped and nodded asraln. "I heard the pebbles against the glass, and I saw him under the other window Ncsta's. And he said her name Just Nesta, not Mrs. Ridden at all. And then be said, 'Come down.' " j "T SEE. Then Nesla went out?" Mln nodded. "I hoped It was you, and that you were making It up." 1 i.i ifiniiii' ipiiiiiiiiiiui "Nesta must have known her own husbandl" never saw me before Nesta brought 1 me from that hospital at Elston?" "No, never." She looked up at him with an air of childlike candor. "Then It was Nesta who told you I was Jim Rlddoll?" "Out she couldn't have made a mistake. She must hare known her own husband " Jim asked abruptly, "Hadn't Tom mot me either?" "Oh no." So that was that Jim felt as If a heavy paving-atone had been lifted off his back. It It was only Nesta wbo Identified him as Jim Rlddell, he was prepared to lay very long odds that be wasn't Jim Rlddell. They reached the end ot the colon nade once more, "I mustn't koop you," he said. Mln blushed again. "Oh. won't you please come back with me and Just see her? You don't know what mayn t come ot It It you go on staying away. Won't you please come back?" That very delicate extra sense which sometimes warns, and some times discerns things ot which we have no evidence, became suddenly active In Jim. Instead of saying good-bye he turned and began to walk slowly back along the colon nade. VfIN, flushed and encouraged, 1,A moved beside him with sran'.l quick steps. Married people oughtn't to live soparate, mother always said. , . , She found she was saying this out loud: "Mother always says" "Well?" said Jim. That odd un classified sense was alert and wait lng. "1 don't hardly like to." "Oh come you were going to tell me what your mother eaya. I'm sure yon can manage that." "Mother always says married folk should stick close, because It they dont " "Yes It they dont?" "There's room for a third botwsen them." Jim got a hunch. "My dear Mln, aro )..u trying to warn me?" They had reached the corner again. Mln stopped and fnoed him, nodding. "When did you find out that It wasn't me?" "When she came back. She opened the door and came In. It was begin ning to get light, and I could see enough to know that It wasn't you." "What happened?" snld Jim. "She went to the gato ngaln, and gave him something." "She gave him something? You're sure it wasn't the other way about?" "I think It was money," said Mln. He was wondering whether It was the Van Berg emeralds that had changed hands over the gate ot Hap plcot at three o'clock In the morning. For this was what he thought his hunch had done for him he thought It had brought him hot on the track of his burglar. The train be had missed and last night's burglar had caught, would have reached Ledlington in very nice time to allow ot Nesta being serenaded with a handful of pebbles. Out in that cose the man who had taken the emeralds must have known exactly what it wns that he had snatched in the Elue Room. And he hadn't come there blind. He had come there to get the emeralds. "You heard something?" Mln nodded. "Nesta said, 'It's all I've got' and something about keeping money In the house." "Is that all you beard?" She shook her hoad. "No he said at least ho said a lot more than what I'm tolling you but all mumbly like as It he'd got something In his mouth." Jim restrained himself. "What did he say?" "He said, 'Don't be late,'" said Mln with a gasp. Don't be late. . , . And he spoke aa It he bad something In his mouth. Perhaps it was a gap in his upper Jaw perhaps It wasn't Jim's head whirled with possibilities. "Anything more?" he asked. "He went off. and she came In." He got no more out ot her than that At the lower end ot the colonnade they parted. He crossed the square and went into the llhrnry. (Copyright, Hit, J. .

Folaom. of Umatilla county announced today It appears to be quite well established that the ike le ton of a child uncovered Saturday near Milton, was that of Cecil Brit tain, who was four years old when he dropped from sight July 19, 1900. The child was the son of R. L. Brlttaln of Walla Walla, a photog rapher. The boy was the' object of one of this region's greatest search es, and at one time more than 200 men assisted by bloodhounds, sought trace of him. The best detectives In the northwest were unable to solve the mystery of the disappear ance. 4) Broken window glazed by Trowbridge Cabinet Works. Phone 642. We will haul away youi refuse.
